IT WAS A MISEARBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIKE ANY OTHER MISERA......ble wednesday night you've ever seen in your entire miserable rainy lives. Me and the lads were up at the forge, we went to play cards for money or boredom to wipe away the city dirt from our workin, stinkin, drinkin lives...In for penny or in for a pound the money was tight and the table was round me and the lads, we played all night til we won our money back all right In a pub near Bishops gate Mickey made himself a mate Cordially invited him to join into the pot that night The stranger joined with the flick of a coin and lost steady week by week The strangers luck had almost changed cause spending all his hard earned wage, Mickey said he'd sell his soul to keep Howard Street, near the Holy Well We stepped out of the city and into the jaws of hell Saw under his hat and into his eyes We all played a hand with the devil I swear i'm not telling you lies Mickey talked of selling souls The stranger laughed and shook our bones Struck around the table with a thud that sent the penny down bending down to pick up the loot i swear i saw a cloven foot underneath the table at the blacksmiths forge in this old town The stranger joined with the flick of a coin and lost steady week by week The strangers luck had almost changed cause spending all his hard earned wage, Mickey said he'd sell his soul to keep Howard Street, near the Holy Well We stepped out of the city and into the jaws of hell Saw under his hat and into his eyes We all played a hand with the devil I swear i'm not telling you lies We ran through the streets, through Mulligan's farm And in the gas light we saw mickeys arm Fingerprints of a rotten heart that took all our money and drove us to part In the night sky of the town We saw the flames that tore The Forge down Second fire we saw up there that finished the game and poisoned the Derry Air Howard Street, near the Holy Well We stepped out of the city and into the jaws of hell Saw under his hat and into his eyes We all played a hand with the devil I swear i'm not telling you lies www.myspace.com/theprelude1 |
